PROBIOTIC fermentation SERIES "Pro" means "for" or "in favor of," "biotic" means "life." Thus probiotic means "for/in favor of life." It contrast directly with "anti," "biotic" or "killing life." Give live friendly bacteria or probiotic to yourself and your love ones or patients to maintain or restore health. Probiotic is a functional food that is essential
for good health. It is to be the "medicine" of the twenty
first century. Friendly bacteria are grown in what is called
a "culturing medium" (ie. milk, vegetables and/or fruits based
media.) As the bacteria grow, they transform the culturing medium into
a totally different substance called the supernatant. A very important
component of "super" probiotics, the supernatant is filled
with a variety of beneficial metabolic by products including antimicrobial
compounds (hydrogen peroxide, bacteriocin etc), vitamins, enzymes, cellular
building blocks, antioxidants and immunostimulants. A full-culture production
method which retains all the friendly bacteria and supernatant is the
most desirable method.
